After we win the SB he will probably retire anyway because going out on top is the best 

Peyton Manning being the last to have done it...

Only Elway and Peyton have done it in 54 SB's.

This isn’t an injury you retire for.

 

He’ll be fine.

I like JB and have defended him a lot but he isn't better than Rivers, JB could beat the Texans IMO but with Rivers it is almost certain hurt toe and all.  

He isn't better than a 100% Rivers.  whether he's better than the Rivers we have depends on how limited Rivers is. 

[GoColts8818 4,688]

Can we all calm down now?  This is two games he’s played on it and been effective.

What an iron man

[2006Coltsbestever 22,280]

He looked real injured today

Nah bring in Tannehill, he would never lose to the Browns like Rivers did . I love Rivers, he is so tough.

Pre cautionary, he has to do everything to protect it. He will play next week lol.

Are we saying as Colts fans that we love Philip Rivers and want him to come back ?

 

Enquiring minds want to know ....

I love him and want him back. He is the closest thing to Luck than some college drafty. I like JB but he is better than the mountain 4th and 1 man

I honestly cant tell there is anything wrong with his foot when im watching.

Yep rivers is doing his job to take care of it during the week so he can play.  Like I said after watching him last week I wasn’t worried about him on it today.

[DontEverGiveUp 900]

Colts would have lost yesterday without Rivers' terrific game.

 

Good thing the geniuses here don't run the team.

Loving him has nothing to do with it.  I loved Vinatieri but it was time for him to go.  

 

Sad to see this being a more serious injury for him.  It's great the way he played and I am glad we won.  I hope he can continue to manage it and play effectively.  He is our best option and I would really like to se this team take a run in the playoffs.  I know in 2006 I thought they just weren't good enough and yet still won the SB. It is always possible (if not probable).

 

Still not ready to crown him for next year yet.  It would depend on how he looks as we go into next year.  One year older and recovering from what appears to be off season surgery.  

 

If he can perform at a high level - sure!

I loved Adam but he was clearly done, Rivers looks like he can play another year IMO

I get it.  I hope he can and I would like to see an even better year next year since the team will have more time together to improve.  This was a bad year to need to bring in a new QB but it has gone pretty well.

 

I'm just not willing to hand him the keys until we know what we are getting.

Yeah we at least need to make the playoffs IMO but I think we will. Lets see how it plays out.

Same. 

[SpanosSucks 192]

Nothing to worry about.  Rivers played on a torn ACL in 07.  He would cut his foot off and use a peg leg before he misses a game.  So far, he seems to be playing well with the injury.  77% completion with AC out.  

[Coffeedrinker 3,537]

Back in my playing days I had a knee injury that didn't really hinder anything other than playing with pain.  So, during the game, I did things to manage the pain (for me it was aspirin before the game and then more at halftime) but then the rest of the week, I kept my knee wrapped to limit movement and limit pain.  

 

Sounds like that is Rivers' approach to his foot injury, he can still play and do his job it's just a matter of managing the pain during the game.

[Four2itus 5,026]

I'll bet Rivers plays 3 more years in the league at the very least.

If you don't at least respect Philip Rivers for his toughness and leadership skills while playing basically on one good foot, you can't be a Colts fan.
